12. Why using Jive + Alfresco ?
• Social software (like Jive) are designed
for collaboration:
• Sharing, Commenting, Following,
Recommending, Linking, etc.
• Alfresco is a highly scalable documents
repository. It is designed to store huge volume
of data (documents, but also images, videos,
etc).
• Alfresco also provides advanced ECM
features (like workflow, versioning, online
editing, smart rules, retention policies, etc).
• By using Alfresco as the foundation for your documents, you will not only provide
strong ECM capabilities to your users, but you will also make sure your entire
architecture (Jive + Alfresco) is fully scalable. This will guarantee the performances of
your system in the long term, even with exponential growth of your “social content”.
